Thank you for your support for ArtsConnectEd (ACE) over the past 18 years.

We are writing to let you know that ArtsConnectEd will be retired at the end of June 2016.

We wish to extend a special thank you to the Minnesota Department of Education and the Institute of Museum and Library Services for their major support of ACE, along with Best Buy Foundation, MCI, Education Minnesota Foundation, ADC Foundation, and Qwest Foundation for their generous contributions over the years. We also express our deepest gratitude to our teacher power-users who helped us design and test the web site and train teachers across the state.

ACE’s technology has become outdated, and no longer provides a level of service or performance on par with what users previously experienced. As a result, Minneapolis Institute of Art and Walker Art Center collectively support moving forward with other, more-sustainable and mobile-friendly tools.
